South Korea to Buy Global Hawk UAVs

[Esc8781]

On Monday, the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency announced that it has notified Congress of a possible Foreign Military Sale to the government of South Korea. If approved by Congress, prime contractor Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC ) will sell four of its RQ-4 Block 30 (I) Global Hawk spy drones, along with "associated equipment, parts, training, and logistical support."

The Global Hawk, one of the largest and most complex unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the U.S. arsenal, carries a correspondingly large price tag. The bill for this sale comes to an estimated $1.2 billion, or $300 million per UAV.

Wiki says its 218 million USD per piece. SO, possibly with weapons, sales and support, its 300 million USD.

What weapon? This is an unarmed surveillance drone.

Anyhow, the Korean government already said no yesterday.
